Was my blog hacked?
-
I was looking at some older posts featuring YouTube embedded videos, and noticed that some of the videos had been replaced with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v30HToswDs&list=FLrc1NJTyjqhuoj88qsmm_Iw&feature=player_embedded&hd=1
I replaced the videos and changed my password, but is there a way to find out when an article was last changed? Are there any other steps I can do to make sure my blog is not compromised in the future?
Blog url: http://blamethelag.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not really. Because of the construction of our blogs, nobody could change the embed code of your blog without also simultaneously changing the embed code for thousands upon thousands of other blogs. We’d have heard something.
You’re saying the video itself didn’t change, just the coding. Only staff have access to the coding.

I’ve looked through your blog and see no signs of suspicious access. Do you have an example post where this was changed, so I can investigate to see if there’s anything suspicious there?

I already fixed the changes with the videos, but it was still strange how they were replaced with the same video (linked above). It might be some weird YouTube scripting thing, since the videos changed were apparently not available anymore. I just wanted to make sure if there was a hacking issue going around with wordpress or not.

The URL you provided above is the video from within a YouTube Playlist. YouTube sometimes alters the way playlists are handled, which makes embedding from the playlist not the best long-term solution.
To avoid that in the future, just embed the video’s specific URL.
